texas: Stop This Bill Now! - 05/03/08 09:28 PM
I heard part of a news article on the radio (KTSA 550 AM) this afternoon that really concerns me. According to the article, Texas Governor Rick Perry is pushing for a new bill that will tax small incorporated businesses making $1,000,000. or less per year on the gross amount they bring in rather than on the net amount. This is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard. It is sure to put many people out of business. All kinds of businesses will be affected, restaurants, dry cleaners, books stores, clothing stores, service businesses, retail and the Mom and Pop's.

texas: I'll laugh when you laugh and cry when you cry - 09/29/07 10:30 PM
Back in the 1980's...
I CRIED with many people that were losing their homes. As a Realtor, you care about your clients and try to help them every way you can. You are the one they look to for a miracle, sometimes. And sometimes, it will take a miracle.
I changed my office back then and began to sell only FORECLOSURES and Soon To Be FORECLOSURES. I cannot help but get emotionally involved with my clients' needs. So I understand what many people are going through today. This was the Dallas/ Ft. Worth area.
My area today is in the Texas Hill Country and it is … (0 comments)

texas: Tattoos-Is it LEGAL to discriminate against them? YES! - 09/26/07 11:04 PM
A report I just heard says, SOME apartment complexes have been denying applicants because of heavy tattoos and body piercings. According to the fair housing officials with San Antonio city government and the Federal government, it may be unfair but it is NOT ILLEGAL unless the tattoos have religious or racial significance.
As a long time Realtor, I was surprised by this, because Fair Housing is something I have been taught and practiced for many years. I personally do not like tattoos or piercings (except pierced earrings) but never dreamed someone could be denied because of them. This is a very interesting story aired on WOAI … (9 comments)
